CHAPTER FOURTEEN: Jensen stepped into the VIP section.He wasn't done spending yet."Can I help you?" The salesman's eyes swept over the bags from the menswear store, then over Jensen's face. He frowned. "Or did you wander in by mistake?""I'd like to see the special pieces."The man laughed, short and ugly. "Those start at fifty thousand, pretty boy. This isn't a pawn shop where you bring in your mother's wedding ring and walk out with a sob story. Try the food court. The kiosk by the pretzel stand does battery replacements for five bucks. that's more your price range."A woman browsing nearby snorted into her hand."I didn't ask for comedy," Jensen said. "I asked to see the collection.""And I'm telling you to leave before security makes it ugly for both of us." The man leaned on the counter, smug as a cat with a bird in its mouth. "This is the VIP session. Random playboys don't touch anything in here. These pieces are above you. Way above.""Funny," Jensen said. "I've yet to meet
Upgrade
CHAPTER THIRTEEN“You need an upgrade.”Geena’s voice echoed through Jensen’s mind. He smiled. If she thought some fancy clothes and shoes would do some good, then he would oblige.The mall doors slid open, and Jensen walked through them.Just at the beginning, he saw a newspaper report.STARR INC. SHARES CONTINUE FREEFALL. THIRD STRAIGHT DAY OF LOSSES.Jensen smiled, then kept walking. Geena’s handiwork was still bleeding out in real time. He didn’t feel guilty about the satisfaction. Not a bit.“Can I help you?” A woman in a tailored blazer intercepted him.He’d found the menswear store on the second floor.“Hello? Sir? What do you want?” Her tone carried the particular rush of someone already calculating how fast she could get him back outside.“Clothes,” Jensen said. “Several.”She laughed, taking in his appearance. “Sweetheart, the cologne samples alone cost more than whatever’s in your bank account. This isn’t a thrift store. This is for high class customers only.”She pointed
Friends and… new enemies
CHAPTER TWELVE“An empire,” Geena repeated, smiling like she’d been waiting all day to hear him say it. “Good. Because empires don’t run on sentiment, big brother. They run on leverage. And you’re about to get your first lesson in exactly that.”Jensen closed the folder.“Then teach me,” he said to her. “Start with whatever’s actually useful. Skip the parts where you dress it up as a metaphor.”Geena’s smile sharpened. “Fine. Next week, the three major families and Everest Corporation are throwing a charity dinner….” She stood up, walking toward the mini bar to pour herself a drink.“…Officially, it’s raising money for underfunded community programs.” She let the pause stretch. “Unofficially, it’s a cage match dressed in black tie. Everyone who matters in this city is going to be in that room, sniffing for blood, trying to figure out who’s actually running Whitmore.”“Meet me, you mean.” He said.“Meet you,” she confirmed. “They already know the company exists. Nobody knows the fa

CHAPTER ELEVEN Jensen walked off campus. One second he was standing outside the lecture hall, staring at the spot where Charlotte had vanished into the crowd. The next, he was three blocks away. His phone buzzed. A text message came in. Coleman: Bro where’d you go?? You good? He typed back. Fine. Need some air He kept moving. Charlotte’s text was still looping in his head. The “I just need to be alone right now” she’d sent before she vanished. Jensen would ensure Matthew got punished for this. A second buzz followed. A different number. Geena: Hey big brother. You’re needed at the Victorian suite. Now. Don’t make me send Seth. The Victorian suite was only used by Geena. She didn’t own it, but she liked it enough that nobody else bothered booking it when she was in town. She never invited anyone there. Jensen frowned. What was wrong? He quickly flagged a taxi and got in. Upon arriving at the suite, the cabbie glared at him. “You’re sure this is the right place?” the cabbi

CHAPTER TEN“Jensen, please.” Her voice trembled on cue. Perfectly reharsed. “I made a mistake. A horrible mistake. I was scared, and confused, and Benjamin pressured me into all of it… please, just give me one more chance…”“No,” Jensen cut her off. Rose blinked, thrown by the lack of hesitation. “You don’t mean that. Two years, Jensen. You loved me.” She sniffled.“I did.” His voice stayed even, almost bored. “That’s in the past now. You made sure of that yourself, in a VIP room, in front of an audience, with another man’s hand groping you.” He shrugged. “Hard to unsee something like that. Even harder to care.”“You’re being cruel, Jensen.”Jensen scoffed.“I’m being honest. There’s a difference, but I understand the confusion. You’ve never experienced the second one.”Lana’s patience snapped instantly. She was behind Rose the entire time. “Don’t talk to her like that, you broke piece of trash.” She stepped forward, finger jabbing the air. “You think anyone’s impressed by w
Witnesses
CHAPTER NINE“Damn! This is better than the porn out there!” A boy whispered.The lecture hall was packed that morning. Jensen noticed it the second he walked in. A room that normally sat a dozen bored students scattered across the back rows now had nearly two hundred crammed into every seat, almost all of them male.All of them oddly alert for nine in the morning.Something was off. He just didn’t know what yet.He found a seat near the middle, ignoring the way a few heads turned to track him.Matthew didn’t come home last night. Coleman was still asleep.Rose sat in the back row, pale and hollow-eyed, staring at him without blinking. Her best friend Lana elbowed her out of the daze, not bothering to lower her voice. “Why are you staring at the broke loser like he’s still relevant? Forget him. You’ve got Benjamin now. Actual money and class.” Lana shot Jensen a glare. “Funny how the smell of poverty follows some people into a lecture hall.” She gagged before focusing on Rose a
